I traveled through time and space and found a mute boy: That’s enough, I feel sorry for him

Chapter 110 Fly Away

After applying the medicine to Mu Jinghua, Xu Shu really couldn't bear it anymore. The scene was so beautiful that it was hard for him not to have many associations.

So after a simple dinner, Xu Shu left the Huimin Hall on the pretext that he had something else to do.

However, worried about the situation at Muyi Building, Xu Shu still went there at dusk.

When he arrived, everyone was eating, talking and laughing in the lobby of the inn. As soon as they saw Xu Shu, they put down their bowls and chopsticks and stood up together.

Xu Shu coughed lightly, signaling them not to be too restrained, and then said: "I just came to see how you are doing."

Du Wanbai stepped forward, holding the registration book that had been prepared long ago, and introduced them to Xu Shu one by one.

Xu Shu took a quick glance and didn't look at it any further.

What is recorded in this registration book is nothing more than which girl and which boy live together. It would be bad for Xu Shu, a pure man, to know too much.

Du Wanbai was also smart. She understood what he meant, so she put away the registration book and briefly explained the situation.

There are still some minor frictions, but Du Wanbai has shown flexibility in dealing with people over the years.

Xu Shu smiled after hearing this: "In that case, take another day off tomorrow. The day after tomorrow I will send relevant personnel to give you training."

Du Wanbai nodded repeatedly.

Xu Shu saw that they were still eating, so he didn't bother them any more and just said, "Nothing else, I'll leave now."

Du Wanbai seemed a little hesitant: "Master Xu, I..."

Xu Shu noticed that something was wrong with him and asked, "What's wrong?"

Du Wanbai bit her lip and said, "Are you going back to Shiqiao Village... Can I go back with you? I want to go see my parents."

"Oh, about this matter." Xu Shu nodded, "Then let's go back together. It's on the way."

After that, he looked at the others and said, "Are there any people who live in Shiqiao Village and want to go back to visit? We can go together."

"Can people from Qiaonan Village go back?" someone asked in a low voice.

Xu Shu smiled and said, "Of course."

He looked at Du Wanbai and said, "Prepare a notebook and write down the date, the name of the person who went out, their gender, age, where they were going, and when they will be back. When the person comes back, add the actual time of their return."

"Everyone should write their leave requests in this way in the future, in black and white, clearly stated."

Du Wanbai nodded in agreement and went to the bedroom to get a new notebook.

Xu Shu took the notebook, drew a table first, and then wrote down Du Wanbai's details: "Just follow this."

Du Wanbai took it and glanced at it, then curled her eyes and said, "Mr. Xu's handwriting is so elegant."

Xu Shu didn't understand where he saw the nobleness in the words, so he didn't say anything. He just said to the others, "Those who want to go back, line up and think about the time you leave and the time you come back. Tomorrow is a holiday, so if you can't come back the day after tomorrow, it will be considered as a leave, and it will be deducted from the number of holidays per month. Do you understand?"

Someone asked about some specific situations, Xu Shu answered them one by one, and then sat aside waiting for Du Wanbai to register everyone.

We waited until the moon rose in the west.

Du Wanbai handed the completed booklet to Xu Shu, a little embarrassed: "Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."

Xu Shu took it and waved his hand nonchalantly: "You go pack your things, I'll take a look here."

Du Wanbai immediately turned around and answered while running upstairs.

It was rare for Xu Shu to see him so flustered. In his impression, Du Wanbai always looked steady.

But how can I say I don’t miss or care about my loved ones after being separated from them for such a long time?

So, what about little Hibiscus?

Besides his father, is there anyone else he cares about?

Will he be so eager to leave me because of that loved one?

Xu Shu was lost in thought until Du Wanbai came downstairs and called him three times, then he came back to his senses: "Okay? Let's go."

Seeing Du Wanbai carrying two packages, he took the bigger one and helped him carry it.

Du Wanbai handed it to him embarrassedly and then fell silent.

It was not until they left Qingshui Town that Du Wanbai suddenly spoke up: "Mr. Xu, were you worried about something just now?"

Xu Shu said, "Oh," but didn't want to say more. "Nothing on my mind."

The atmosphere fell silent again.

But this time Du Wanbai seemed to be making small talk: "Mr. Xu, you like Mu Jinghua, right?"

"Yeah." Xu Shu would not deliberately ignore others when they tried to talk. "I like him. We are already engaged. We will probably get married when he is older."

"perhaps?"

"Yeah." Xu Shu said absentmindedly.

At most they are in love now, although people in ancient times seemed to be more loyal and two years is not a long time, but there is always a chance of something happening. What if two years later, Xiao Mujin meets someone more like-minded.

For example, someone younger than him?

Or, someone with a better temper than him?

Is it possible that there is someone who talks more than him?

Anything is possible, and he doesn't dare to guarantee that they can be together forever.

But he... doesn't seem to want Xiao Mujin to be with anyone else.

"Does Master Xu like older guys?"

"Older?" Xu Shu was puzzled. "I don't feel anything. I used to think I liked younger girls."

"Girl?" Du Wanbai was surprised. "Then why do you like... Mu Ge'er now?"

"I can't say for sure," Xu Shu hadn't thought about this question carefully. "Emotions are very complicated. You may like someone because of the feeling that person brings to you, or because of that person's appearance, or because after a long period of loneliness, you have no other choice..."

"So you have no other choice?" Du Wanbai interrupted Xu Shu.

Xu Shu frowned and said, "I am more inclined to think that Xiao Mujin is the only one who has no other choice."

Because he was the only one who showed kindness, because he was the one who brought him home, and because he was the one who accompanied him...so Xiao Mujin chose him and fell in love with him.

But when he is no longer the timid boy he is now, and truly transforms into a beautiful, uniquely fragrant hibiscus flower, he will meet all kinds of people.

Those people will love him, praise him, and cherish him.

Maybe I will become that dispensable person?

Thinking of this, Xu Shu couldn't help but sigh, and then he heard Du Wanbai say: "Looking at your reaction, it seems like you can't leave him and love him to death."

Xu Shu suddenly stopped, and for a moment he became clear-headed, then laughed at himself: "Yes, I can't leave him."

"So, we have to perform well and try our best to keep him."

"Keep him?" Du Wanbai asked again, "Let me say something unpleasant. Brother has no freedom in this world. We are not birds and can never fly away."

Xu Shu shook his head: "You are not a bird, he is."

"Why are you so sure?" Du Wanbai smiled stiffly.

"Because he has me."

I'll help him fly away.

It will also make him willing to come back.
